The same cables and hardware that you use for other digital modes that are based on PC programs will work with FreeDV, but you will need a second sound interface for the microphone and speaker connections to the FreeDV program. A USB headset of the sort used by gamers is all you need for the second sound interface.</P></blockquote>

-* July 18, 2013 Dr. Frank Eliot, W3WAG, discussed Weak Signal Detection. Thanks to the rapid increase in digital processing availability, hams have implemented sophisticated and user-friendly techniques that enable us to communicate with much weaker signals than we had dreamed of exploiting just a few years ago. In this session, Frank discussed weak signal detection, exploring under what circumstances we might detect even weaker signals, thus communicating over even more difficult paths. Also, on a related topic, he described how earth antennas behave, and experiments one might perform to sort out their modes of operation.
